Linotype for Casting Rifle Bullets

[lgm270]

I have some linotype  I want to use for casting rifle bullets.  Anyone have any comments on this metal for this purpose I've used it in the past for 45 ACP's and it worked just fine.  They come out a little light though.

it will make great pistol bullets but its almost gotten to be to valuble to waste like that. Mix it 5050 with cheap or free wheel weights or trade it two for one for wheel weight lead.

 For hi speed target rifle loads Linotype is fine as long as your rifle likes it. I use a softer mix for hunting and get 2000 FPS from Lyman #2 alloy or ACWW's. I shot in several competitions with a .45ACP and used wheel weight alloy for the bullets. None of the problems normally ascribed to using "soft" alloys occurred. I am NOT the most accurate shot with the .45,but my scores were about the same as my "hardball" scores.  As LLoyd says ,It is too valuable to waste. However, Lino makes a great mixer for softer lead alloys.

If your not looking for expansion then a gas checked lino bullet is as good as you can get in a cast rifle bullet.  Accuracy is usually best at around 1800 but some guns I've found shoot well and don't lead even at 2200 or slightly more.
